I was trying to install winnt4.0 but I keep getting disk space error. It complains about not having a swap space during installation. I deleted the partion, created one active partion of 2gig and formatted. I created and used the install disks, but it hungs up after 3rd disk. Any ideas?

If you plan to use windows NT only, you can choose NTFS (in the NT setup partitioning program)
